With the implementation of this new organization and the addition of Upton's lion legions, the city of Rome would officially have seven barbarian legions, four of which were multi-class regular legions, two legions using Macedonian phalanxes, and one cavalry legion that needed to be expanded in size.

In fact, both the regular corps and the Macedonian phalanx corps are multi-class composite legions, but the Macedonian phalanx corps is much more complex than the regular corps in terms of troop composition, which is the disadvantage and advantage of the Macedonian phalanx corps.

The overly complex structure of the troops makes the process of forming the combat effectiveness of the Macedonian phalanx legion much more difficult than that of the regular legions, and similarly, the combat effectiveness of the Macedonian phalanx legion after it is built is much stronger than that of the regular legions.

The city of Rome lacked generals who were truly proficient in the phalanx of pikes, but with the advent of Leonidas, who was born in the Spartan heavy infantry, was the most proficient general in the Macedonian phalanx.

With Leonidas as the lieutenant general of the Cheetah Legion, sooner or later the Cheetah Legion will learn the essence of the Macedonian phalanx, and when the time is right, the Tasia Legion will also be included in the army sequence trained by Leonidas.

The existence of these six barbarian legions brought the barbarian army under the control of Roman City to 79,000 people, and as for Nelson's Roman Spear Legion, they only had three cavalry wings in their current establishment, but Bai Feng wanted to expand their size to five cavalry wings.

Until this expansion is achieved, all seven legions in Rome will have 85,000 troops, and once this expansion goal is achieved, the number of troops in Rome will increase to 89,000.

In addition to the upcoming expansion of the Roman Spear Legion, the Doge's Guard, which is directly under Bai Feng himself, will also be expanded, Pyris and his 2,000 most elite longbowmen will join the Doge's Guard, and the army under Wendell and Simpson will also be expanded.

Wendell's elite infantry, which originally numbered only 1,000, will be expanded to 2,000 men, and Simpson's cavalry will be expanded to 2,000 men, and the new Governor's Guard will be composed of the Longbow Wing, the Infantry Wing, and the Cavalry Wing.

Of course, the Governor's Guard's Infantry Wing is more powerful than the elite infantry wing of an ordinary legion, after all, the soldiers in this infantry wing are carefully selected from other legions, and their combat effectiveness is trustworthy.

Wendell and Simpson would continue to serve as infantry and cavalry commanders of the Doge's Guard, while Perris, who had joined the Governor's Guard, was both Longbow Commander and General of the Doge's Guard.

When Peris was a centurion under White Peak, Wendell was just a patrol leader, and Simpson was chosen from among the captives, and even if Perris's exploits were not mentioned, his seniority alone was enough to serve as the commander of the two.

After dealing with the establishment of the seven barbarian legions and the governor's guard, Bai Feng found that among the more than 46,000 warriors captured, there were more than 30,000 warriors who had not been arranged, and in addition, there were thousands of warriors under Upton's command who were outside the lion legion.

How to settle these 40,000 or so warriors has become a problem that Bai Feng urgently needs to solve, and it is certainly not appropriate to continue to expand the existing legions of the city of Rome, and there is no need to add new legions, because the focus of the development of the city of Rome will be the economy and internal affairs.

The large number of troops will only put pressure on the development of the city of Rome, and even slow down the development of the city, so Bai Feng does not plan to continue to expand the size of the army in the city of Rome until he faces a stronger external hostile force.

But wasting these tens of thousands of soldiers with good combat effectiveness in vain was a decision that Bai Feng couldn't make, so Bai Feng, who had no choice but to turn his attention to the longbowmen and the Tuntian Legion, was the best choice for those warriors who had not been arranged.

Licinius's First Legion and Antio's Second Legion, the two true core legions of Rome, have not yet been determined even the most basic formations, but there are the types of troops that Rome can recruit there.

The Locust Longbowmen of Rome City can definitely crush the ordinary archers and light infantry of Rome City mercilessly in terms of long-range strikes, which means that it is necessary for Bai Feng to support the core legions of these two Roman cities with a considerable number of longbowmen.

The legions of Bazel and the others were all equipped with two longbow wings, and Bai Feng, who valued long-range striking ability, decided to assign three strengthened longbow wings to these two legions, so that at least 12,000 soldiers would need to be transferred to form the required longbowmen.

There are still nearly 30,000 soldiers left, and Bai Feng plans to organize all of them into the Tuntian Legion in Rome City; before the establishment of Aceni Town, there were only five Tuntian Legions with a size of 5,000 people in Rome City, and now that there is Aceni Town, it is natural that a Tuntian Legion should be added.

The new Sixth Tuntian Legion will be restored to its original size of 10,000 men, and the other five Tuntian Legions will also be replenished to 8,000 men.

After all the legions were discussed, Bai Feng announced the end of the meeting with the generals, and except for Licinius and Antio, who were left behind, the other generals got up one after another and left the council hall.

When it came to the meeting hall, only Bai Feng was left, and Bai Feng, who had relaxed, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, smiled and asked Licinius and Antio, who were sitting in the precarious position:

"Licinius, Antio, the year will be over in two days, and with the new year your legions will be on the right track, and what new formations do you think our legions in Rome should take, in addition to the three longbow wings that are attached. ”

Although Bai Feng's words were talking about the legions of the city of Rome, both Licinius and Antio knew that Bai Feng was talking about their legions, and Antio, who had been the general of the Doge's Guard, did not think about what kind of formation his legion should use.

As the commander of the First Legion, Li Sini had been thinking about what kind of establishment his Legion should take, and now that Bai Feng suddenly raised this question, he understood that his First Legion was really going to expand the army on a large scale!

"Doge, I think that the most elite legions of our Roman city should adopt the standard Roman legion and increase the size of the cavalry force a little, and you must know that the Roman legions using the standard formation are not without reason. ”

Licinius's answer coincided with Bai Feng's thoughts, and when Bai Feng thought about it himself, he also felt that it was better for the core legion of Rome City to adopt the standard Roman legion formation;
